Crystal Moon Maher Olfactive arrived in 2020 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. A unisex fragrance from the east and floral families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Shawn Maher. Available as eau de parfum.
Country of origin — the United States. Crystal Moon Maher Olfactive unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Crystal Moon is shaped as a layered story, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Maher Olfactive is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a pulsating fruity mood: Ambergris, Coffee, Dried Fruits, Hinoki, Juniper, Lavender and Narcissus.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Gourmet and Floral with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Fruit, Wood and Amber expand the olfactory volume in the background.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Ambery, Gourmet, Fruit and Wood. The palette also extends to Green, Whiteflower, Floral and Balsamic.
Overall Crystal Moon sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
